Jim,

I was able to read from the radio using the Baofeng software (the "UV-6 UV-7 Series software" *)

I read the radio and stored the settings to a .DAT file using the Baofeng software. I didn't attempt to program it yet, though, in case there was something you wanted me to try and it needed to stay in its current state.

Thanks,
Aubrey

It looks like either the memory layout has change or your radio needs reset. This is what the "Ident" should look like.

AA 36 74 04 00 05 20 DD

It is a record of the factory band limits and is the same format for all UV-5R variants since the BFB291 firmware was released.

36 = VHF lower limit of 136 MHz

74 = VHF upper limit of 174 MHz

04 00 = UHF lower limit of 400 MHz

05 20 = VHF upper limit of 520 MHz

And yours looks to me like

aa 01 01 36 01 74 01 04

01 = separator

01 36 = VHF lower limit

01 = separator

01 74 = VHF upper limit

01 = separator

just guessing beyond this point

04 00 = UHF lower limit

01 = separator

05 20 = UHF upper limit

If I am correct, this first part of memory has been expanded and all of the memory mapping afterwords is offset. So even if you got past this "Radio refused clone" error, the settings would be all wrong.

Are you able to get this radio to work with the Baofeng software?
